This is our last Golden Hour of the year! We are ending an AMAZING season with our Harvest Moon Party.
A Harvest Moon Party is a festive event that celebrates the arrival of the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. This moon is known for its unique characteristics, including its bright and luminous appearance, which historically allowed farmers to extend their working hours in the fields during the fall harvest. We will be celebrating our grape harvest under the Harvest Moon, which will first appear on the evening of Friday, September 29th.
